The Carry Nation Quiz

You're right! The correct answer is
"Carry was orphaned at age 2."

This statement is false because both her parents lived well into Carry's adulthood.

The other answers to this question are true:

  • Carry nursed Civil War wounded at Pea Ridge, Arkansas, in 1862, and at Independence, Missouri, during the 1864 Price raid.
  • She was married twice, to Charles Gloyd and David Nation.
  • She was the mother of one daughter, Charlien, by Charles Gloyd.
